Simon Amstell is so uncomfortable being an interviewee that he actually
writhes in awkwardness, making the process not unlike doggedly trying to
nail a flailing, pained worm to a bit of wood. And it’s not like they’re

You end up feeling like a total sadistic, invasive bastard, and all you’ve
done is ask if he’s much cop at cooking.

look like it. When Amstell, 32, laughs, which he does often, it ends as a
horrified shriek, like Kenneth Williams
